Your home atyour command.

With the Home app, you can easily and securely control all your HomeKit accessories. Ask Siri to turn off the lights from your iPhone. See who’s at the front door on your iPad. Control things remotely with the help of Apple TV. Even tell your new HomePod to turn up the music.1 The Home app makes all your connected devices work harder — and smarter — for you.*

One app for all your home accessories.

No matter which compatible accessories you choose, the Home app makes it easy to set up and control all of them, all from one place. Over 50 brands worldwide are committed to providing accessories that are compatible with the HomeKit framework, and the number available is growing every day. And each of these accessories is reviewed and approved by Apple to help ensure your security when you use it.

Get your house in order. Room by room.

The Home app groups accessories by room, so you can easily control devices in any part of your house with a tap. You can even tell Siri things like “Turn off my bedroom lights” or “Start heating the upstairs.” And 3D Touch lets you press an icon to perform more complex tasks like dimming the lights or adjusting the thermostat.

Set several things in motion with a tap. Or your voice.

Home allows you to set scenes, which enable multiple accessories to work in combination — all with a single command. So you can create a scene named “Leaving Home” that turns off the lights, locks your doors, and lowers the thermostat.

Good Morning

Greet the day with a custom scene that warms up your house, opens the blinds, and fires up the coffee maker.

I’m Home

Prep your home for your arrival with a scene that opens the garage, unlocks your door, and turns on the lights.

Good Night

When you’re ready to turn in, a custom scene can turn off the lights, lower the thermostat, and secure the doors.

Siri makes your voice the on/off switch.

Siri knows which HomeKit-enabled accessories you have in your home as well as their status.2 So you can ask Siri to turn an appliance on or off, dim your lights, change the song, or set one of your scenes. With Apple TV or HomePod, you don’t even have to be home — for example, you can ask Siri to set the “I’m Home” scene while you’re driving. When you arrive, your house will be bright and warm, waiting for you to settle in.

Control your house from just about anywhere.

Using the Home app, you can access all of your home’s smart accessories remotely through Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad.3 You can do things like shut your garage door, view live camera video of the doorway, or even ask Siri to lower the thermostat — anything you normally do while using the Home app at home.

Put your home on autopilot.

Apple TV, HomePod, and iPad also enable your home to carry out certain tasks automatically. For example, you can trigger an accessory or scene based on the time of day, your location, sensor detection, and more. Set it up once and you’re done.

Location

Set your lights to turn on as soon as you pull up to the house.

Time

Have your home turn up the heat at 6:00 a.m., before you get out of bed.

Action

Use a motion sensor in the doorway to turn your kitchen lights on when you walk in.

Occupancy

Trigger a scene based on who’s home, like automatically turning the lights off as you leave if nobody else is there.

Getting started is easy.

Setting up a HomeKit accessory to work with the Home app is simple and secure. Just tap the accessory or scan the HomeKit setup code found directly on the accessory or in its instructions, and it’s instantly paired with your iOS device. The Home app will also recognize existing HomeKit accessories that have been set up using other apps.
